Good news...
I like the drawing, it's so unusual but beautiful! The little white mouse is also a cool eye catcher, since elephants have fear of them (do they really have?). Anyway.
Great work!

Thanks.Β
I think it's just a myth, probably created by some cartoonist, I really don't know. But, I drew it for just that reason! We were all pretty scared at the time and it represents the fear of another stroke. Maybe he's part plague rat too, like a bad omen. He's also there for a bit of comic relief :]

Events like this make you realize the importance of others, and their mortality, frailty and sometimes their resilience.Β

Great!
Your digital work seems so natural now... Like, it is how you want to work and what you want to say.... Not just a convenient tool.Β
The elephants face tells a story itself...
Nice!Β
i am also happy to hear about your Dad... I wanted to ask but .... didn't.

Thanks, it's getting there. My computer is still too slow to keep up with me, but it works well enough.Β
I tried to make the face look a bit like my dad's, but . . . he's not an elephant. And his face just barely droops now.Β
Zoom in on the mouse, I think it's my favorite part :]

The biting is a nice touch...Β
You know what I like... The little swirls in the IV bag Β

I gotta get back to my swirls.Β

Swirls... And patterns are tough for me digitally.... I have a little Wacom tablet.... Just never got use to it.... I could draw other things normally, but my patterns were stiff and undetailed.Β
You had a few digital pieces that were pretty fluid though...Β

It's hard to get smooth lines with the tablet, that IV line took waaay too long . There must be a trick I've yet to figure out.Β
